2.1.1 Serial Console Port
To configure the GPoE+/M using the serial port, attach a DB-9 serial (RS-232) equipped computer with
terminal emulation software such as Procomm or Putty to the serial port on the GPoE+/M using a standard
RJ-45 to DB-9 serial cable (not included).
Attach the ends of a serial adapter cable to the serial port of the PC and the RJ-45 connector of the GPoE+/M.
The port is a standard RS-232 asynchronous serial interface.
The serial adapter cable pin-outs are illustrated below.

RJ-45 PoE, SFP and Fixed-Fiber Ports
The RJ-45 PoE Ethernet port supports 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T protocols, auto-
negotiation, auto MDI/MDI-X crossover and can be manually forced to a specific speed and duplex mode.
The SFP interfaces support SERDES 1000BASE-X fiber transceivers and SGMII 10/100/1000BASE-T
copper transceivers. The SFP interfaces operate in auto-negotiation and support full duplex operation.
Fixed-fiber 1000BASE-X connectors are available with multimode (MM) dual fiber, single-mode (SM)
dual fiber and single-mode single-fiber (SF) options. They support ST, SC and LC connectors.

Reset Button
A Rest Button is available on the front of the switch to restore the switch to factory default values. Press
and hold the reset button for more than 5 seconds to restore the switch to factory default values.

CONFIGURING DIP-SWITCHES
DIP-switches are located on the side of the OmniConverter GPoE+/M. The DIP-switches are used to
configure modes of operation, networking features and PoE reset. Any change in the DIP-switches will
immediately take effect.
